The Delhi high court has restrained the Centre from making appointments to the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) after a plea alleged that the process was being carried out without consulting chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. As per the New Delhi Municipal Council Act, 1994 it is necessary for the central government to have consultations with the chief minister for making the aforesaid appointment. Justice Vibhu Bakhru imposed an interim stay and directed NDMC and the Centre not to make any appointments to the post of chairperson, vice-chairperson and other members of the council till August 13.
